I can't give you Denver names since I'm in Memphis, but I can tell you how I find crews that actually show up. I never hire off one bid — I get three bids per job, and I ask each contractor for their last three completed jobs with owner references I can call. My best crews came from other investors, not Google: ask in your local REIA or Denver landlord groups who they'd hire again tomorrow. Start every new contractor on a small paid test job — a punch list, not a full rehab. Pay in draws tied to completed milestones, never big money up front, and verify license and insurance yourself. For a list like yours, I'd split it up: a painter for the interior, a concrete guy for the patio, and a carpenter for the stairs, railing, and trim. Specialists almost always beat generalists on price and speed.
Thanks! Most of those, I was planning to do. But the reminder about incremental progress payments is an important reminder. I appreciate you taking the time to share.
